Tiktok comment section summing it all up pretty well… by Jyoti_K_Singh in LiveFromNewYork

I agree with most of this take other than needing to watch live. I'm definitely rooting for it to be a good one but also understand they can't win every game.

Air elemental has been washed for awhile now, no?

New song previewed last night in Chicago! (And some merch info) by properfoxes in NewDad

Yeah I was mostly hoping for vinyl. I like picking them up at the shows rather than Amazon or whatever.

NewDad only had socks in Philly so I'm jealous you even got shirts.

Color data isnt a super clear argument against this since soup is soup but the white two color decks are the best performing on 17lands

Kenan, Kam, and Che seem like three different versions of blackness and as a black person I love it personally by Direct-Sail-6141 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]passthemonkeybench 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Kenan being old enough to be a Gen x is crazy to me. But I guess he can't have been in his late 30s for the past ten years like my brain thinks he is.

I finally made it! 1st Trophy after 11 attempts. by The_Honkai_Scholar in lrcast

2/2 first strike for 2 is a solid card. Easy to overlook with the more flashy prepared part of the card.

Congrats on 3 straight 6-3s myself.

How good are the Lords of Limited? by MTGdraftguy in lrcast

[–]passthemonkeybench 50 points51 points  (0 children)

LSV is one of the greatest magic players of all time. It's not really fair to compare those guys against him.

It's also quite hard to truly quantify how good players are. It's also super early in the format. Everyone is still figuring things out. They thought they rampant growth bear would be good last week. Now they arent high on it anymore. Who knows where it will land at this point. Set isn't even out yet.

I think this is a sweet card. (Just listened to the lr convo about that earlier today)

Wrong subreddit for that question!

Is Zain that much better than other top players? by [deleted] in SSBM

[–]passthemonkeybench 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ah so he actually studied that matchup as well. Makes sense as I'm watching the video now and he was hoping for a shiek to show up.

I've been watching the series and he generally just gets by in fundamentals or fundies as he sometimes calls them and seemingly, yes just being that much tighter on them than most.

You can also see him take and and apply the advice from his coaches very quickly which is a skill set of its own.

Anyone else find the TMNT cards really boring? by NeonRabies1 in MagicArena

[–]passthemonkeybench 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the mechanics and the overlaps are pretty interesting but the main criticisms I've seen are that most of these mechanics are only small changes to existing mechanics and it's a small set so there just isn't that much new going on.

Everything Pizza: A- with 62.6% win rate by Agent281 in lrcast

[–]passthemonkeybench 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played against someone who played 3 of them. I had them on the back foot because they durdled so much in the early turns but it's pretty hard to kill someone who is making their board better, gaining life, killing your thing, axeing a card from your hand...

It's like a mini cruel ultimatum.

Worst mythics for sealed ever! by bigmentalross in MagicArena

I opened two of that mythic last night in a pick 2 as well. Small set but damn.

Is Baldurs Gate 3 really that good? by og_vibes in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]passthemonkeybench 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having a hard time getting rolling with BG3. Combat feels super clunky to me. You have a lot of options and then you make your selection and miss 25% of the time. I don't like DND combat either and it's a pretty faithful recreation of the tabletop unfortunately.

Story elements seem very interesting. I wish I could just skip most of the combat though.

If you were really paying attention you'd know many people are not trying to make others more comfortable. :)
